Your child may be able to read the words—but without strong comprehension, school becomes harder every year.

• can read a passage but struggles to explain it afterward
• forgets what they read by the next day
• homework takes far longer than it should
• gets overwhelmed by longer reading assignments
• starts falling behind in science, history, and other reading-heavy classes

This doesn’t mean your child isn’t smart — it usually means they haven’t been shown how truly understand what they read

How We Help

We help students understand what they read so school feels more manageable and confidence grows.

Understand what they read — find the main idea and explain it clearly
Remember and organize information — connect ideas so learning actually sticks
Use skills across subjects — apply what they learn in science, history, and beyond
